Top is the view the boys will see as they come out of Inverness on the way to Helmsdale which is our last planned overnight stop. A short hop for these guys now at 98 miles!
We have saved the Boisdale sponsor shirts for today to wear with their Glenfarcas whisky ties as we felt that was appropriate!
Many thanks to Oliver and David at The Lamb in Hindon http://www.lambathindon.co.uk/ for allowing Will time off work to attempt this great challenge.
Time to reflect from Martyn..................
We are now at Thurso! The boys have covered an astonishing bone weary 142 miles!! I am totally amazed and so proud as must James's dad be as he looks down on this incredible journey.
Only 20 miles left to cover to John O' Groats now but the boys are insisting on going via Dunnet Head.
10 miles from Thurso we stopped at a B&B which was full but they got the boys in made them tea and biscuits and then sorted accommodation for us! A big thank you to Lynne and Weyland Read at http://www.auldpostoffice.com/ . Met so many amazing people during this unforgettable trip. Nearly there now, thanks to Alan for routing
hi boys great to see that you have got this far keep up the good work!

Hi Will & James, so super to meet you both on the penultimate leg of your journey. Caithness is supposed to be the 'Lowlands beyond the Highlands'. Whoever said that, forgot to mention Berriedale Braes!!! Well done to you both and good luck tomorrow. Enjoy your long awaited beers at the finishing post.
